May 19, 2006--Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI) spoke on "Beyond Iraq: Refocusing
Our National Security Strategy" at the Center for Strategic & International

that is not focused on Iraq to the exclusion of other more pressing priorities."
"We should start by redeploying our troops from Iraq," Feingold said.

he is also co-chair with Sen. Bill Frist of CSIS' HIV/AIDS Task Force.
